La Dolce Vita

I've only just reached here and I cannot gush enough about this place! The rooms are absolutely clean and fresh, well maintained, lovingly upkept by the host James and Ingrid.

The amount of care and love that went into this place tells me they are not just a casual B&B host. They truly want their guests to feel at home, well fed, sleep well, bathe in comfort, enjoy the surroundings...... oh man I really dunno how else to describe this heaven on earth!!

There's so much food provided just simply coz they TRULY CARE that their guests can't find food as they are in the mountains and not near any food places.

After 4 days in Brisbane this was nothing short of paradise. My stress, headaches, gastric all disappeared the moment I was here!!

I will definitely 500% come back here!

Don't search any further! Just book with La Dolce Vita. You won't regret it

I'm totally in love!

Our stay at La Docle Vita was one of the most amazing. The hosts Ingrid and James have really put so much of love and effort into making this en suite like a warm cozy home for their guests.

This was a 5/5 stay without a doubt!

While everything for breakfast is provided you may need to cook your eggs and bacon. But there are sooo many other easy breakfast options provided (GF included) too like 'The bread', jams, Yoghurt, GF cereals, coffee and more...

... And the atmosphere and view is outstanding.

Details:

We are a family with a young child. Here are the highlights of this place much deserving of appreciation. As a family:
- The cleanliness was 5/5. Least spotting of dust compared to many other rooms. Clean bathrooms, fantastically stocked.
- The room atmosphere was 5/5, inspite of its location on thick beautiful grasslands and the rain, we had no issues.
- Also a beautiful location to spot birds, kangaroos and brown hares.

- Service: we could go on about this,

1. The couple were very warm and welcoming. They respnded to us immediately.
2. A well stocked apartment (Faaaaar better than a hotel)
- The absolutely delicious bread baked by the hosts itself.
- Kitchen stocked with required breakfast items including GF cereals, a Nespresso machine and coffee sachets, frother, variety of tea including herbal, eggs, bacon and more.
- required cutlery and an electric frying pan.
- shampoos and soaps including products which don't have SLS and reasonably natural. I appreciated this. There were even cleansing wipes if you needed them.
- beds were comfy. Everyone including our toddler slept well.

A very Warm Welcome from Hosts, a fantastic place to Relax and watch birds, hares & 🦘. The Home baking was so generous with Christmas Cookies and fresh bread. Highly Recommend. 😊😊

This is truly an amazing place to stay. The location, the accommodation, and the hosts were absolutely lovely. It exceeded all of our expectations and the only regret we have is not booking more nights.

Amazing place to stay. Everything is completely perfect. The garden around the house is marvelous. The view from the front window is pure peace. The hosts are just amazing, they made bread for you and the apartment is amazing for two people and has everything you need. If you like birds, also imprescindible. One of the greatest places I’ve ever stay. Congratulations to Ingrid & James. What a nice job making this place so special. Pity we only stayed for one night. Best.

Wow, amazing. James and Ingrid greeted us as soon as we arrived.
Very friendly.
The room is cleaner and more modern than all hotels we have been to on the Gold Coast.
The fridge and pantry was completely full of goodies.
The views and the wildlife is just beautiful.
Can’t wait to go back. 💜

La Dolce Vita is a precious gem next to Lamington National Park. Their hosts, Ingrid and James are super kind. At the time of our visit we were on our honeymoon. They took great care of us, cooking all kind of cakes, baking home-made bread. They even did the laundry for us (which we really needed) and presented us two bottles of wine and a bottle of Chardonnay. It was our best time in Australia.

Such a lovely spot to embrace the nature with flowers, birds and fresh air. The view of the hills is so picturesque.

And the best thing is the host’s well-equipped kitchen and home baked brownies and bread. Would really highly recommend to anyone :)

The room is so clean and modern, well-stocked with various tea and superb coffee! The host, Ingrid and James, welcomed us with warm apple pie, then she continuously surprised us with her home baked bread for breakfast! Everything was just perfect!
They even got the best view out of windows with beautiful birds visiting every morning!

I cannot recommend La Dolce Vita enough! Ingrid and James were so hospitable, they even drove us back from a nearby wedding. The beds were super comfortable, there were so many options for breakfast in addition to wine and chocolate on arrival, not to mention how beautiful the property is. Perfect for a relaxing getaway! We will be back.

Adorable place! The decor is new , clean and very country chic,we love that,plenty of food including the icecream and fresh strawberries ,you can make breakfast by yourself.We stay for two nights,enjoy the views and feed the bird every morning.Ingrid and James were so friendly even stayed till 1pm on our day we were supposed to check out at 9am! I really love Ingrid’s baked treats for afternoon tea is amazing,especially the cookies, she even let us take them when we left,it’s really sweet :)

We have stayed in many Bed & Breakfasts over the years, for us this is the best we have ever stayed in. This is a peaceful well appointed accommodation for couples or small families. It is private and quiet with views across farmland. The Birdlife is delightful and enjoyable. Our hosts are friendly, helpful and delightful to chat with, and very attentive if required. The accommodation is well appointed with an excellent range of tea, coffee and light breakfast offerings. Located 15minutes drive to Lamington national Park and Binna Burra this is the perfect staging place for good hard hiking with a comfortable accommodation to rest weary legs at the end of the day.

We stayed here on Saturday for 1 night and it was the perfect getaway!!
We arrived to our room with stunning surrounds, along with a complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates 😍

The owners Ingrid and James even went out of their way to drop us and pick us up from our event up the road (as its hard to get a cab up here).

In the morning we were spoilt with a loaf of fresh bread the owners cooked us the day before, along with bacon and eggs,  juices and coffee for breakfast, which was all included.

If you are wanting somewhere to stay for a bit of RnR you've found your spot right here!!
Keep in mind your internet connection may not be great depending what provider you are with but for us that was perfect to be off the grid for a night.

We have already booked to come back with our 2 young kids next month, as they will definitely enjoy the wide open space to run around and the fire pit outside the room to cook marshmallows.

Thanks again Ingrid and James and we'll see you again in a few weeks

We were delighted with our accomodation and the hospitality of Ingrid and James. Even though we were visiting the area on a spur of the moment trip, we were well fed and well received by our hosts for the night. The room was beautiful and well presented and the relaxation factor was off the roof. Definately worth a visit and money for value: 5 Stars

Birdwatchers paradise. You could watch and feed the Red-browed finches, Double-barred finches, lorikeets and fairy wrens. The hosts looked after us like their family members. Freshly baked bread, well-stocked pantry, great view, clean rooms, linens, fresh towels. You can cook outside using the small BBQ weber. The location is very near to Lamington National Park, Binna Burra section.

Friendly hosts, great location at a reasonable price. Plus they even helped with lifts to the wedding. I highly recommend staying here.

James and Ingrid are generous, hospitable and helpful. Our stay was such a delight. Beautiful location. Convenient to the national park. Restful and peaceful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

An amazing place for a weekend away. The view is great and there was a lot birdlife to watch. The hosts were absolutely wonderful and the hospitality shown was above and beyond what you would expect. Will be back for sure!

Great place. We stayed for our Anniversary and the place was beautiful. Both inside and out. And the hosts were very lovely and generous. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful place! We were truly impressed with Ingrid and James’ hospitality. Everything is extremely well thought out, plenty of food and snacks. Would definitely come back again.
